How did you shoot today at Golf

I figured we could have a thread on golf rounds. I'll go 1st. Played Whirlwind Cattail course today. I was hitting the driver far. Pushing 290-300 75% of...

MidwayJ What is this 13-wood mumbo jumbo? I didn't know they went past 9. 😃

Wedgewood ? 🫣

Eguller We don't bet at Wedgewood, sir, and i never slice.

Eguller LOL. Their ads pop up on Facebook all the time. I've never known anyone who actually tried them.

rsvman2 Until I thought about the actual (fictional) name, I never realized the connotation behind Bushwood before.

lol. I was referring to woods with a wedge spec loft and distance - like a pop up. 🫣

I have, and may again. Bought them for my wife years ago. I put them in play a few times when I would hit a bad spot with irons. The 4H became my favorite club. Just sold them last year. I was thinking of buying another of set of the updated model with R flex shafts (my wife's were A flex) but landed on the System Q's and they are working great for me. The Wedgewoods are legit, though. They are old school lofts so don't go as far as you'd expect hybrids to go.

MidwayJ

Eguller Well, that's what they are selling.

garyt1957 They look pretty nice in pics. I don't think I could ever use hybrids as short iron replacements, though. Too many tight lies in Texas. I would probably hit line drives with them.

sdandrea1 I'm close. Shot 81 today with 2 Three-Putt and I think I only hit my SW, 8 and 9 irons. I hit a bunch of approach and tee shots (par 3s) with my 13 wood. Thinking about building the 15 wood (Acer XDS). The 9 wood is $ too!

My dad played woods up to the 15 wood. Played well with them. I hit them pretty well, too. Whatever works. I actually like having weird stuff in my bag and freaking people out, especially when I'm playing well.

Acer XDS at Value Golf. 3 wood to 15 wood (odd #s only). They're like cheating.

sdandrea1 Yeah, only see a 4 W (I have one) not seen any even number woods other than 4. I need to know why?🤔

sdandrea1 I have 5-7-9-11 in my bag now. My Acer 11w is my "new 5-iron!"

MidwayJ Acer offers up to 15W

Sorry 3-15 including the 4

sdandrea1 Right, but why not even number heads? A player could have each possible gap filled.

I'll be bagging the 5 9 13. Better gaps for me. That 13 is versatile for different yardages that need hilltop height!

sdandrea1 What’s funny is years ago when I first started playing I remember going into Herman’s World of Sporting Goods at the Burlington Mall and seeing wooden Northwestern 13-15 woods and laughing. Little did I know.

Bravopilot Right, but why not even number heads? A player could have each possible gap filled.

These odd #s are only 4 degrees apart. I would not need them at 2 degrees apart. I suppose they could make odd and even and you could use either/or. As it stands I don't need anything but the 5, 9, 13. 8 degree gaps work.

garyt1957

Bravopilot I think there likely isn't enough distance between say a 13 wood and what would be a 14 wood?
My Dad's woods were probably 30-40 years old now and were all even. His 15 wood was actually wood.
Edit to add: I see Steve just said the same thing.

Bravopilot

sdandrea1 Understand but we all have goofy gaps and mix/match odd even.
